Hi everyone!

As we approach week three in this season of Advent, I was reminded of how the world can truly be a dark place to call home at times — and it seems to grow darker by the day by some accounts.

In fact, as I read, studied, and meditated upon the entire passage of Isaiah 60 yesterday in preparation for tonight’s prayer call, my phone buzzed with a puzzling headline notification that served as a reminder:

For A Brief Moment Today, 90 Percent Of Humanity Will Be Engulfed In Darkness.

The headline referenced that nearly 9 in 10 people, due to the world’s population density, could look up and see a sky that is completely dark — a moment of maximum darkness.

Wow! Talk about notification of double entendre as I was simultaneously reading verses 1-3 of Isaiah 60:

Hi everyone!

I hope all of you had a blessed Thanksgiving holiday, giving thanks and eating just enough.

I also hope everyone made good memories while expressing gratitude to God for family and friends.

Kicking off the holiday season — the parades of lights, decorations, gifts, events, music, and much more — can be a good time for some and a not-so-good time for others due to a variety of reasons and life experiences.

But no matter where we find ourselves on the spectrum of the holiday season being good or not so good, our hearts can not only be encouraged by the glimmer and twinkle of Christmas light shows but more importantly, transformed by the Light of all lights that the world can’t extinguish — the celebration and arrival of the season of Advent.

What does the season of Advent consist of, you ask?

Hi everyone!

Only a few hours til’ Thanksgiving, yet we’re looking forward to everyone joining us this Sunday, November 27th at 5 PM for dinner. See you there!

Mallary and I missed praying with you all last week but shared a wonderful two days and dinner with our Plant Fort Worth Cohort — more on this in the next newsletter (or tonight for those that join!).

But on this Thanksgiving Eve, in a world full of deals — pre, black, gray, cyber, small biz Saturday, non-profit Tuesday, and the list goes on — it’s quite easy to be distracted, right?

Let’s admit it. We’re all enticed, distracted from one deal to the next.

Buzz, buzz goes the phone or email notifications with a deal we’re told we simply can’t live without.

Yet as we all know and come to learn in time, every deal has a shelf life.

Whether we want it to or not, whether we believe it or not, each deal has an expiration date — a limit and expiration purposely built into the deal!

Hi everyone!

We’re looking forward to everyone joining us this Sunday, November 13th for dinner at 5 pm. See you there!

Last week in our time of corporate prayer and praise, we praised the Lord of the harvest for His blessing in the timely sowing and reaping to make disciples for Jesus in communities and on campuses across Fort Worth.

Tonight we’ll focus our hearts on praying the words of Isaiah 55: 6-13, making space for the Spirit of God to lead us in making disciples for Jesus in our neighborhoods, places of employment, and the campus of Texas Christian University this season:
